Julian Bradfield recommends this setting:

(setq process-coding-system-alist
      (cons '("lynx" . utf-8) process-coding-system-alist))

But, before you do so, please check what the value of 
`process-coding-system-alist' is.

I myself don't see this problem.  On Linux, my 
process-coding-system-alist is nil and it works fine. (My Emacs version 
on Linux is 22.2.1.)

On Windows Cygwin, the variable has some unrelated entries.  But lynx 
output works fine.

Emacs recognizes the coding system in its input as per the Emacs Manual 
section "26.7 Recognizing Coding Systems".  My suspicion is that you are 
blocking the recognition through some settings of your own.

Cheers,
